Code{4}lib is a conference series and community focused on the intersection of libraries, technology, and the future. code4lib2009 was held this week in Providence, hosted by the Brown University Library.

Ian’s talk contained three conjectures, the first of which I especially liked:

Conjecture 1: Data outlasts code

Conjecture 2: There is more structured data in the world than unstructured

Conjecture 3: Most of the value in our data will be unexpected and unintended
